NEW YORK (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase will get to review some of Elon Musk's emails as it pursues a lawsuit against Tesla over a bond contract dispute that arose after Musk tweeted he might take his electric car company private.

In a Wednesday hearing in Manhattan federal court, U.S. Magistrate Judge Ona Wang gave Tesla four weeks to turn over emails from Musk's account at his rocket manufacturing company SpaceX, to allow JPMorgan enough time to prepare for witness interviews.
